NFL POWER RANKINGS: Where all 32 teams stand going into Week 10

Dion Lewis is out for the remainder of the season. Charles Krupa/AP The NFL received a shake-up Monday afternoon with the news that Patriots running back Dion Lewis is out for the season with a torn ACL.

Though Lewis' numbers don't blow people away, he was a huge part of a dynamic Patriots offense. Despite being a running back, he had more receiving yards (388) than rushing yards (234), and was incredibly valuable as a dump-off option for Tom Brady.

According to Sporting Charts, Lewis had 337 yards after the catch, fifth-best in the NFL and second-best on the Patriots. The Patriots will miss that versatility as LeGarrette Blount, now the top running back in Foxborough, is a more bruising style running back, better for short-yardage situations.

The injury hasn't shaken up the top of our rankings yet, but with the Patriots losing one of their three most valuable offensive weapons, their grasp on the No. 1 spot — and perhaps the Super Bowl — just got a little weaker.

Check out our power rankings going into Week 10 below.

1/

1. New England Patriots

Record: 8-0

Week 10 opponent: at New York Giants

Week 9 MVP: Running back LeGarrette Blount handled the load this week, running for 129 yards and a touchdown in a breezy 27-10 win over Washington.

One thing to know: The Patriots lost breakout star Dion Lewis for the season to a torn ACL. It's Blount's position now, but it will be interesting to see whether the Patriots make a move for another RB.

2/

2. Carolina Panthers

Record: 8-0

Week 10 opponent: at Tennessee Titans

Week 9 MVP: Linebacker Thomas Davis came up with his third interception of the season, picking off Aaron Rodgers on what could have been a game-tying touchdown.

One thing to know: The Panthers only have three games against above-.500 teams — the Falcons (twice) and the Giants — the rest of the year. An undefeated season is a serious possibility for this team.

3. Cincinnati Bengals

Record: 8-0

Week 10 opponent: vs. Houston Texans

Week 9 MVP: Tight end Tyler Eifert shredded the Browns in the end zone for 53 yards and three touchdowns.

One thing to know: The Bengals' wide receivers only have seven drops this season, ninth-best in the NFL.

4/

4. Denver Broncos

Joe Mahoney

Record: 7-1

Week 10 opponent: vs. Indianapolis Colts

Week 9 MVP: Owen Daniels had a monster game. The tight end went off for 102 yards on just six catches, and added a touchdown.

One thing to know: Aqib Talib has been suspended one game for poking Dwayne Allen in the eye in Week 9. The defense, which has been the backbone of this team all season, will be without Talib and DeMarcus Ware.

5/

5. Green Bay Packers

Streeter Lecka/Getty

Record: 6-2

Week 10 opponent: vs. Detroit Lions

Week 9 MVP: Aaron Rodgers did everything he could to keep the Packers alive, throwing for 369 yards, four touchdowns, and one infuriating interception.

One thing to know: Rodgers surely misses Jordy Nelson as a deep target. Last year he threw 18 passes for more than 30 yards — he only has seven attempts so far this season.

6/

6. Arizona Cardinals

Norm Hall/Getty Images

Record: 6-2

Week 10 opponent: at Seattle Seahawks

Week 9 MVP: Nobody — they had a bye

One thing to know: The Cardinals have the third-hardest schedule remaining — with two games against the Seahawks, plus the Bengals, Packers, Rams, and Vikings.

7/

7. Seattle Seahawks

Maddie Meyer/Getty

Record: 4-4

Week 10 opponent: vs. Arizona Cardinals

Week 9 MVP: Nobody — they had a bye

One thing to know: A huge game versus the NFC West-leading Cardinals will begin the Seahawks' push for the postseason.

8. Minnesota Vikings

Week 9 MVP: Adrian Peterson logged 125 yards and a touchdown, including a key overtime rush that helped set up the Vikes' game-winning field goal. AP now leads the NFL in rushing this season.

One thing to know: Don't look now, but the Vikings are tied with the Packers for first place in the NFC North. Their second half schedule is gruesome, with two games against Green Bay and three games against the NFC West.

9/

9. New York Jets

Alex Goodlett/Getty

Record: 5-3

Week 10 opponent: vs. Buffalo Bills

Week 9 MVP: The Jets' defense as a whole. They combined for seven sacks and came up with two interceptions.

One thing to know: Even with an injured hand, Ryan Fitzpatrick looked solid, throwing 21-34 for 272 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions, and a 106 passer rating.

10/

10. St. Louis Rams

Jim Mone/AP

Record: 4-4

Week 10 opponent: vs. Chicago Bears

Week 9 MVP: Tavon Austin was solid in the team's loss. He ran for 66 yards on eight carries, including key yardage on the team's last drive of the game — which forced OT.

One thing to know: The Rams lost wide receiver Stedman Bailey to a four-game suspension for substance abuse, and have added veteran receiver Wes Welker as his replacement.

11. Pittsburgh Steelers

One thing to know: Ben Roethlisberger is out a week or two with an ankle injury, so it's Mike Vick or Landry Jones time again!

12/

12. Indianapolis Colts

Andy Lyons/Getty

Record: 4-5

Week 10 opponent: Bye

Week 9 MVP: Andrew Luck had one of his best games of the season, throwing for 252 yards, two touchdowns, and — crucially — zero interceptions.

One thing to know: Beating the Broncos might just have saved Chuck Pagano's job — for now, anyway. Could Sean Payton be the new Colts coach next season?

13/

13. New York Giants

Mike Ehrmann/Getty

Record: 5-4

Week 10 opponent: vs. New England Patriots

Week 9 MVP: Let's give it to Jason Pierre-Paul who played with a club on his hand and recorded a positive grade from PFF with four hurries!

One thing to know: Many people credit the Giants with being the only team that can stop the Patriots. That reputation will be put to the test in Week 10.

14/

14. Oakland Raiders

Jared Wickerham/Getty

Record: 4-4

Week 10 opponent: vs. Minnesota Vikings

Week 9 MVP: Derek Carr continues to absolutely thrive in his second year in the NFL. Don't let a fourth-quarter pick deceive you — he threw four TDs on the day and now has 11 TD passes in his past three games.

One thing to know: The Raiders' defense, on the other hand, was awful. They allowed a franchise-record 597 yards of offense.

20. Washington Redskins

Week 9 MVP: Keenan Robinson picked off Tom Brady, only Brady's second interception of the season, so we'll give it to him. Not a great performance by the DC Grudens, though.

One thing to know: The 'Skins are scoring just 19.8 points per game — 28th in the league. Free RG3!

21/

21. Baltimore Ravens

Rob Carr/Getty

Record: 2-6

Week 10 opponent: vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Week 9 MVP: Nobody — they had a bye

One thing to know: Four of the Ravens' eight remaining games come against teams .500 or better, yet they believe they can win out to make the playoffs.

22/

22. Kansas City Chiefs

Doug Pensinger/Getty Images

Record: 3-5

Week 10 opponent: at Denver Broncos

Week 9 MVP: Nobody — they had a bye

One thing to know: This team is trending in the right direction after starting 1-5. They've won two in a row and are coming off a bye against the Broncos. A win in Denver could go a long way for their — still-distant — playoff hopes.

25. Dallas Cowboys

Jamie Squire/Getty

Record: 2-6

Week 10 opponent: at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Week 9 MVP: Cole Beasley had 112 yards on just nine catches and two touchdowns.

One thing to know: Make that six straight losses for the 'Boys. If this were basketball, the Cowboys would shut down Romo for the rest of the season and hope for a good draft pick. Instead, they're still holding onto hope for a playoff spot. And considering how bad the NFC East is, they're not quite out of it yet.

26/

26. San Diego Chargers

Sean M. Haffey/Getty

Record: 2-7

Week 10 opponent: Bye

Week 9 MVP: Danny Woodhead is about the only healthy player on this team, and he looked great again on Monday night. He finished with 111 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown.

One thing to know: Five losses in a row for the Chargers, who can't stay healthy or make plays down the stretch. Maybe a new city will bring them new life.

27/

27. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Cliff McBride/Getty

Record: 3-5

Week 10 opponent: vs. Dallas Cowboys

Week 9 MVP: Mike Evans had a solid game with eight catches for 152 yards ...

28. Jacksonville Jaguars

Week 9 MVP: Allen Hurns continues to torch defenses. He picked up 122 yards and a touchdown, and has now caught a TD in six consecutive games.

One thing to know: Don't count the Jaguars out of the AFC South title race. A shockingly easy second-half schedule — with just one game against a team above .500 (the Falcons) — could help the Jags keep things interesting. Seriously!
